At Exhale, our mission is to support after-abortion emotional wellbeing through direct services and education, always guided by our values of compassion, reproductive justice, and community-centered care. Over the past three years, we have answered thousands of texts, trained new leaders to provide stigma-busting support, and expanded Pro-Voice practices across the US, its territories, and Canada. None of this would be possible without you - our donors, partners, and advocates - who believe that every person deserves compassionate, nonjudgmental care after an abortion.

The full cycle of abortion care extends beyond the procedure itself. Many people need time, space, and support to process complex emotions afterward but providers often lack the resources to offer short-term mental health and emotional support. This is the gap Exhale fills: we meet people where they are, offering a safe, judgment-free space to be heard, affirmed, and supported.

Despite its essential nature, this work is often overlooked and underfunded, even as demand surges. Since the Dobbs decision, Exhale has seen a 200% increase in textline volume, with another spike following the 2024 election, clear evidence that shifting legal and cultural landscapes effect people?s emotional well-being. These shifts directly impact mental health and underscore why Exhale?s work has never been more vital.
